could it be in the realm of possibility in the second term obama administration? or yesterday when the president spoke at arlington national cemetery, he touched on something that should be in the realm of possibility. the month's long backlog that our new veterans are facing when they try to access the benefits they have earned when they get home from war. >> no veteran should have to wait months or years for the benefits that you have earned so we will continue to attack the claims backlog. we won't let up. we will not let up. >> that claims backlog is actually a disaster. and it's getting worse and it needs to be fixed. it's a specific problem that cannot be allowed to continue if we are to make good on the promises we have made to people who have fought in our name. if the v.a. secretary cannot get it done as head of the v.a., then probably the president needs to find a new v.a. secretary. fixing the the backlog is something that needs to be in the realm of possibility for the obama administration. later on in the show, we'll be talking about how and where the

and that's the fight the obama administration wants to have. so john mccain's really on his heels. >> that point, about which argument the obama administration wants to have, i mean, the thing that tripped up mitt romney on this in that debate is that he believed what conservative media had been saying about this. right? he believed some conservative thing that president obama never used the word terror when he described this attack. when, in fact, the president had. it led to that horrible fact checking moment, live fact checking in the debate. is john mccain, and these guys, dana warbaucher, gene schmidt, trying to make it into a political scandal, are they making the same mistake, they're pursuing a narrative circulating on the right but isn't based in fact? >> i'd add darrell issa on that. he held the hearings on benghazi a month before the election and bungled them. he released documents without even checking with anyone. and the bottom line here is there are legitimate questions about the benghazi attack and a lot of information we haven'
